Try

I try to be the perfect daughter
I try to be the best older sister
I try to be that supportive friend
Hoping to put my heart at ease
From feeling useless

I hope that I am getting there
To be good at something
To only realise
that I am being compared
That I am being laughed upon
That I am being betrayed

I look in the mirror
With tears in my eyes
Silently asking what went wrong
When I was just trying to be
What my heart says I have to be
